Remember when the bengals beat us in 05 and won the division there fans were calling them the next great dynasty. So how has that worked out? 1 playoff loss to us. Now that doesn't sound like a dynasty to me.

To be fair, I don't think I remember anyone using the term "dynasty".

However, there was a lot of speculation that the Steelers' long string of division championships would be over. Chad Johnson, for example, compared the two teams' style of play to black and white and color tv, stating that it was going to be color for a while.
